Suggestions for non furniture additions to make home look more stylish.

[FindingMeno]

I'm happy with my furniture, layout, and paint colours.
I've got rid of so much tat, and now I would like to introduce some smaller touches that aren't too expensive, but will 'elevate' the look a little (as they say).
Anyone got any tips?

Houseplants

Plants, mirrors, candles, Reed diffuser
Cushion/throws
Add texture basically!
I have a tealight lamp from TK maxx that's really pretty especially at night

Oh and for where to shop, TK maxx and dunelm are the two places I always seem to get stuff
La redoute is worth a look at the minute as they have 40% off

House plants, wall art, ceramics cushions and throws very subtly and don't overdo it. Less is more.

Don’t add random stuff!! Especially cheap tat from the likes of Dunelm. You have a beautiful space, why the rush to fill it?

Plants.

Buy things you really really like on days out, holidays, prints or paintings for birthdays or Christmas. Ask your gran (or do it yourself!) to knit you a throw. Once my kids hit secondary they produced quite decent art, I’ve had a couple of these framed. I’ve swiped one of my mum’s painting and had it re-framed. My favourite thing ever is a small copper enamelled bowl I got at a charity shop for a pound. For us, valentines and anniversary gifts are ‘to the house’ so a nice wine cooler, new planter etc.

Cheap cushions always looks cheap.

Get tho or three really nice vases (charity shoos are great for this) and always have fresh flowers, even crysants if you change the water regularly will kast a couple of weeks.

Let it grow organically and with meaning.

God the typo’s sorry.

What’s your colour scheme? (Just nosy…)

Rugs.

I mix flowers with beautiful permanent stuff I've collected over the years. I avoid Dunelm and more consumable stuff.

This week my coffee table has a lovely wooden chess set and a white porcelain vase of daffodils

The bottom level of one bookcase in the sitting room has a small bronze and a Valentine's card. The other bookcase only has a large hand blown glass table lamp

I change the throws on the sofas and swap daffodils for hyacinths or roses as the seasons change and I need to add more or less warmth.

A few houseplants and books go a long way. Decorate with things that are meaningful to you or that you really enjoy. If I take a trip, I’ll pick up something small so later when I see it, I think of the trip.

Good lighting can create so much warmth. too. We have a routine of turning certain lights we turn on and off at different times a day. Most are just small lamps or nightlights so not using much electricity, but it makes the house very cozy and I enjoy the routine of waking up and turning off the nighttime lights and porch lights.

Fresh eucalyptus in a vase is great if you can find it. It smells so good and dries nicely so it lasts a long time.

Buy pieces of original art at the top end of your budget. Art that you love. It does not have to fit in with your colour scheme. Paintings or pottery or sculptures that take your fancy. If you are buying at the top end of your budget it will take a few years but the art will last longer than when you next change colour scheme.
